Not everybody can wait on Seahawks’ announcement

While there still is no official word forthcoming from the Seattle Seahawks on the expected signing of running back Edgerrin James, the boys at nfl.com apparently aren’t in the mood to idly spin their wheels.

Edgerrin James

The biography page on James on the league’s website already has changed James’ mug shot to include him in a blue Seahawks’ jersey instead of his former Arizona Cardinals’ red.

In the meantime, the beat goes on — with no sign of the new drummer — at Seahawks headquarters.

James and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did spend the day at Seahawks headquarters, but no settlement has been reached. Obviously there are still issues to be haggled out, whether it’s about money, health or who knows what.

Despite reports to the contrary, James has not yet signed a contract. And until he does, it’s still possible for this thing to fall through.

At this point, given both sides are in the same building working on it, I would think a deal remains imminent.
